Has it been long enough since Diablo II? I remember when I was one of the first beta testers because I worked on a popular StarCraft fansite, and had early release copies of StarCraft: BroodWar and Diablo 2. That was back in 1999, over 12 years ago.

The graphics are vastly improved, it seems. The CGI of the snow and character movements are like a breath of fresh air from Italy.

1777, British versus newly founded America.

The trailer is only a minute-and-a-half long, and the game will not be on the shelves for over seven-and-a-half-months from now. But still, I’m excited.

Our new hero is an assassin of Native American and English heritage by the name of Ratohnhaké:ton. Luckily, he also goes by the more easily pronounceable name of Connor. And although the new colonial setting offers more forests than scalable structures as we’ve seen in the Mediterranean cities of previous games, there’s still plenty of sneaking around in the woods along with more offensive combat.

Yeah, I’m excited. Not about the historical setting, however. I feel UBI Soft jumped a little too fast through world history, going from Jerusalem (Assassin’s Creed 1) to Italy-Rome-Constantinople (Assassin’s Creed 2 trilogy) and now the American Revolution. I’d have to assume Assassin’s Creed 4 would be current-day street thugs and the like.

However now we can speculate that Abraham Lincoln is a Templar, and John Wilkes Booth is an Assassin, right?
